1. Don’t say “I love you” the first time before, during or after sex because they may think you are using them or just saying it for the sake of sex. She’ll prefer it if you hug her from behind and whisper it in her ear.

2. All men lie and most women will leave you if you have lied. But it’s better if you lied when they asked you how they look because they are just fishing for compliments.

3. You can easily turn her on by leaving her messages or sending her text message and e-mail,let her know you care for her and wiling to spend time on her.Even a call during lunch break is good enough.

4. Women love getting surprises,so buy her small gifts occasionally or bring her on a date without telling her the plans.

I will simply go straight to the point, as I would not want to give very explicit details about myself. This is for some obvious reasons. My wife is very sharp, I mean, she is such an intelligent woman and can easily trace this true confession to me.

I’m not oblivious of the fact that most issues of this nature are blamed on the men whom most of us see as womanizers; but mine is a different thing entirely. I’m not a womanizer. I have tried everything possible to make sure that this girl-my house girl leaves my house, but my wife will always insist she stays.
